Suresh V. Bhagwat . PC based Characterization of Optoelectronic Devices with reference to Engineering Applications. International Journal of Computer Applications. 67, 1 ( April 2013), 1-4. DOI=10.5120/11356-6572
This Paper reports a PC based Characterization setup and parameter measurement of Optoelectronic Devices with reference to Engineering Applications. The setup builds up more than forty test experiments for LED, LDR, Photodiode, Phototransistor, Optocouplers, Optoisolators and Optical fibers. Emphasis is given on Testing the Electrical, spectral and spatial characteristics of these devices. Further simple tests can also be carried out for Optoelectronic systems such as Analog and digital communication links, voice communication links etc. The Design of the setup is made flexible so that the experiments can be arranged in modular form. The modules include a PC add-on card for Analog to digital and Digital to Analog conversion. Voltage to current and current to voltage conversion, Stepper motor driver and position sensing unit supported by appropriate driver software. The simplest job of user is only to connect this module at appropriate position and run the software re-quire to run the experiment. The user friendly software offers the facility of selection of the experiment(s) and the results are displayed in graphical and tabular forms.
